If you are looking to improve the search engine rankings of your website, then there are different ways and means of achieving it. It is a well known fact that it is the rankings on the search engine pages that actually bring in more traffic to your website. Though there are different strategies, the best search engine optimization strategy is article marketing. There are quite a few reasons as to why article marketing is the best search engine optimization tool. Let us try and understand a few of them.

Article writing is one of the best search engine optimization options as it allows you to use a wide range of keywords and phrases that enables you to connect with your product or service niche. It is important that you use all the relevant keywords and phrases and distribute them in such a way that when people browse on the internet using these keywords and phrases, they will also be directed to your website. This will enable more traffic to your site forcing the search engines to grab your site and place it in the higher rankings of the search engine pages.

Article submission on sites which has higher page rank can give you high traffic and quality backlinks.

I totally agree with you. But the key point in article-writing is that do not copying others' contents or the search engine will find that and if is serious, your website may be punished.

I would say article writing and content is actually more for your customers. All search engine bots care for is a set of rules based on word densities, link neighborhoods, and age. That being said if you want you can certainly use re-spinning and article syndications to get more keyword densities and content on your site. Just realize the pages you do use will be placed in supplemental index and won't gain rank if they aren't significantly different.

There is no "best" SEO tool. Articles are a great way to get backlinks however if you were to name the most important factor for SEO, quality would have a higher weight than backlinks. Case in point, Google is still the #1 site on the Internet. Facebook has more traffic, but the majority of it is trash traffic with an average page visit length of 34 seconds compared to Google's 2-3 minute per page visit. Articles are only one of the ways to get backlinks. I would say social media is right on top with article marketing.

Surprised to see so many people still recommending article marketing as an effective method of SEO after the Google Panda update all but slapped the article directories. The important thing to remember is that it doesn't matter whether you submit to a site with PR6 or a site with PR0, the page your link is on needs to be indexed.

If you are submitting your article to hundreds of PR0-2 directories then chances are it will never get indexed and be counted. This is especially true if you are submitting the same duplicate article.

For article marketing to be effective nowadays you need to submit unique articles to each site and focus only on the ones with high pagerank and that get their subpages indexed. Submitting a unique article to the top 10 directories is going to be far better than submitting the same article to 1,000 directories.
